Mr.. Buchanan, who made an estimate of all
the petitions sent from all parts of the country
says that there are eleven miles of names
begging for clemency. A delegation of labor
people from New York consists Of j. e. Quinn,
Samuel Gempers, L. j. Terrell and Edward
King. 1t is claimed that they alone have peti-
lions with 100000 names attached
Black began by reading the general petition
which had been signed 10y the men themselves,
and when he closed, he said:
This has been signed by Michael Schwab,
Samuel Fielden and August Spies. The rea-
son that the accused Parsons, Fischer, Engel
and lhngg did not append their names to this
paper was because they claimed that they had
forwarded to your eXcelency their autograph
letters and did not think it necessary to sign
this"
Captain Black presented an affidavit from
Otis 5. Favor, business man of Chicago
tending to show that the jury which tried
the anarchists had been deliberately packed
against them by bailiff
Mr.. George Schilling and Mr.. i. S. Oliver
carried trunk containing the petitions in
front OF the governor. Taking out large pile,
Nh Oliver said:
"The petitions contain the names of sixty
thousand people, living III Chicago"
The executive requested an affidavit to that
effect and Mr.. Oliver replied:
''It will be presented later"
A telling point of the mercy-seekeFS waS
made in the afternoon, almost at the very
outset. William Urban, representing the
Central Labor Union of Chicago over 10000
worllingmen, was at the moment addressing
the governor. The shooting of Begley by the
Pnkerton men at the stockyardS
was instanced by Urban as a
by member of a well-known Organization
the Pinkerton Agency-in the employ OF an
other Well-lnown organiZation-the Packers
Union-and the controlling spirits of the Or
ganization were not held responsible for the
crime Of an individual member.
THE ARBETTE3-ZErTUNG's ADVICE.
CHICAGO, Ills, November 9-The Arbeiter-
zeitung, to-day, in long article about the
condemned men says:
Should there be any plans TO" disturbance during
the probable murder Of our condemned men, we
hereby request the respective persons, not only in
cur own name, but in the name of Mrs. Parsons
who has given up her husband for lost, and taken
leave of him forever, that they may desist from
cmrying them out. When the trap with our mar
tyrs drop that sound shall be hoard through
out the a., VIDE land free from alloy with
majority of whom, even now, stand by in dumb,
stupid apathy and listen 10 the money Iabble say
ing: Their blood omes upon US and our children"
This people of murderers shall be brought to an IN
deIstanding of what it is doing in numbering ours
and its best mer& Whoever wants to show, on
Friday, that he looks upon the stranglng of
our condemned men as u murder, murder for
robbery committed by robbers upon the defenders of
their victims; let him do as according to the Biblical
legend the children Of Israel did when the angel of
death went through E2ypt-let them go; and, by
Grape on their doors indicate how they feel. Let
everybody remain at home GA Friday. May the
metropolis, in sombre silence, contemplate the work
which its rulers propose to do; may it be so still
tfat even those who; at the order of the societies
should try to make disturbance may not dare do SO
Among the petitions presented to the gov
ernor this afternoon was the following:

thatthey must have had the tendency to excite toun
necessary violence oftentimes. protest again that

CHICAGO, November 10--LouiS Lining, one
Of the seven condemned anarchists in the
Chicago jail, ended his life this morning by
means Of Illuminating cap. He had the case
in his mouth and lit il with a candle which
was burning in his cell. The explosion was
the first warning that the Jail people had, the
guard seeing him with the candle in his hand
supposng that he was lighting a cigar. From
the effects Of the explosion half his head was
torn away.
Immediately after the explosion Deputy
O'Neil rushed into Linng's cell, which was
completely enyeloped in smoke. There he
found the young anarchist lying on his back
with great holes in his head from which the
blood was rushing in torrents. lie was at
once carried into the Jail Office and placed on a
table. He was still breathing family, and
while DR.. Gray was examining him he
coughed slightly and blood poured forth again
from his terrible wounds and from his mouth
and nose.
After awhile Jailer'Folz made an examina-
ton Of the cell. On the floor lie found the
shell Of Illuminating case. The sheriff said
there had undoubtedly been dynamite in IT,
The supposition that the man put the she'll in
his mouth and deliberately applied a candle
flame is undoubtedly correct The explosion
was terrific. 1t startled the officials, who
thought it was bomb the noise was 80 great.
The shell was 50 small rs 10 have allowed the
smuggling Of it into Jail without trouble.
At 10 10 DR.. Gray made further examina-
ton and found THAT tissues Of the throat, neck
and front Of the jaw had been torn away. IIe
administered stimulants, but they failed to
rouse the man.
How the dynamite was struggled into the
cell is not known, but it is generally believed
that there is a traitor among the death watch
